Anyone know what happened to 74-114? Was used at Langleys air shows for over a decade then dsiappeared like a fart in the wind. Would have thought it would have gone to the Hampto Air Power Park nearby but nope. Was an A model they used right up to the 1st Raptors arrival for Statics all over the hampton roads area. Thanks for any help.

Looks like they still have the nose gear turned around the wrong way on the F-15A at the NMUSAF in Dayton - mentioned it to one of the docents last time I was there. Oh well, guess I'm just too picky...

The basic Crew Chief Course at Sheppard AFB has what must be a very early copy. It has a portion of the outboard wing reconstructed of wood. It has a short speed brake, so must be a prototype or perhaps, a test model.

You are correct. The 318th closed its doors in '89. The Eagle on display at McChord served with the 5th FIS in Minot, ND. I was assigned to both of these units during the period from '85 - '89 that both units were deactivated.

My old unit(Air Force Orientation Group) retired our F-15 to this museum and they displayed it for a while.It appears that it is not here anymore.Does anyone know where 71-0280 is? It was the first one flown.
